Shiny Palmy Trip 26/27 May

[Jerry]

Anyone keen on this?

Plan is shiny trip North Range Rd & Takapari Rd with optional Ashhurst River play (is this still allowed?) Overnight at Ashhurst Domain Campsite..., can look at a shiny drive up to the whatsits name dam on the way back.

Any thoughts/Suggestions welcome

Edit : will rerun this when its a bit warmer

might be a good chance to test out the Disco 3

8) nite run over north range road if its a nice night

was told north range road is just a manicured gravel road now. what's it like compared to takapari (which is also super easy)

[WRNGLR]

north range can be done in 2wd now, still not a bad one to do for shineys tho, gets you right under the windmills, still ok to play at Ashhurst River Area as long as you stay above the Ashhurst Bridge and below the Saddle Road Bridge.A good way to go is in at Saddle Road Bridge and head Down Stream to Ashhurst Bridge and come out just down from the Domain Entrance on Napier Road

cheers

jerry does state a shiney trip lol! and at nite North range is good fun with the views if its a nice nite

Was making it a shiny grade 1 trip .... good for newer members and also have a beer or 3 with the palmy crowd ....

Taz01 was trying out his MK submarine in the river last time we were there so there is an optional harder trip ....(don't have any pics of him floating ) easy enough to organise a harder trip next one after this

Also i've never done both of these tracks so would be good to cross them off ......

found some pics from 08/09

keep it shiny as hell
I dont mind 2wd trips if the scenery is good
stay out of the river


do all of the above and I'm keen

[Jerry]

Rivers optional .... so you can sit there and drink beer whilst others are doing it ... if this goes well I have other trips like this planned ....

[skid]

any chance you wanna change the date Jerry

this looks cool and is a lot closer to home...........

shall we push on with planning this trip??

maybe even set up some sort of timed track around the ashhurst bogs...

[WRNGLR]

you gonna drive the Jeep or be the time keeper

[badnuz]

time keeper

[Jerry]

how long does each shiny track take?

[badnuz]

there are no "tracks" made at ashhurst, we will just "peg" some out from all the tracks that are there for a bit of fun

[Bubba]

Can you give me some details of this proposed overnight please. I have a mate date with a bloke with a sick dog (don't ask) so want to get him out for a day with you guys.

[Jerry]

Overnight at ashhurst domain campground

[WRNGLR]

and check out the Ashhurst Inn for a meal and a beer while you're there, highly recommended
